Short Blues - Grimms feat. Neil Innes (1973)

"Watch out you guys in the mobile unit outside..."

I was dead chuffed to find this incredible record in a local shop. Sometimes records you've given up looking for after decades have a way of finding YOU!

Anyway, this odd LP is a mix of poetry, comedic bits, and the odd tune here or there. The name GRIMMS comes from the surnames for the founders of the collective:

Gorman, John (The Scaffold)

Roberts, Andy (Liverpool Scene and The Scaffold)

Innes, Neil (Bonzo Dog Band)

McGear, Mike (The Scaffold)

McGough, Roger (The Scaffold)

Stanshall, Vivian (Bonzo Dog Band)

Although by the release of this LP they should have been rechristened G.G. PIMMZ, due to Stanshall and Roberts not appearing while Brian Patten, Michael Giles and Zoot Money make some inspired contributions instead.
